ment was made that the same punishment inflicted
upon Dr. Mc(iiynu would also be visited noon his
parishoners If they did not cut on al COM
munlca ION with their former pastor But tue
pari,hIoners laughed at All threa1s a d warnings.
They became, f anything more outSpoken IN theIr
loyalty 10 the doctor
The effect of this example has made itself felt
among athOlic admirers or Dr. Nc lynn through
out the city the great detriDent of 'he Churcas
fnaices. eenV this. the Archb shop, 1t IS ssld,
became convinced that cnange Of tactics was
| necessary. Accordingly his piivate secretary the
Rev Dr.. Nc OnDell, was sent to ioms some
| turee months ago TO Law the wnole Case
before the Pope and Propaganda and take such
| steps as mig git by them he thought best

threatened to cause serious disruption IN tho
CIurch in this country. / he effect ol DIR. Melon

Doctors case with tho suit sCatel.
